Topic : 01/28 The Baggy Pants Debate

The topic is silly, every generation has their own style...  I must say that the hidden camera in the mall totally unfair.  Of course they would get treated no differently..it's a common site.     I would have liked to see the kids try to get hired for a job.  ( and not apply at mcDonalds)     They will grow out of it when it's time to get a job.   It's their style, let them express themselves.  ( I grew out of my punk stage.)

 I understand that its probably not the classiest way of dressing, and i personally think it looks tacky BUT

when did it start becoming alright for somebodys OPINION about what looks good... to become the law???.. What if people started wearing lamp shades on there head? and the mayor of some city didnt like it and decided to outlaw wearing Lampshades on your head in that city...If you dont like, dont look at it... Its not hurting anyone else, and if they cant find a job because they dont know how to dress, thats their problem, not ours... whats next? Women have to start wearing scarfs over their head to cover their hair because its too provocative to show your hair??  yep.. communism, thats exactly what this seems like. 

I'm surprised that people feel any government agency should have the right to legislate how people dress.  If some are so offended by the apparel of others, I can only suggest that they not look at what offends their delicate sensibilities and ask themselves why they are allowing themselves to be so offended.  As I was watching the show, I noticed that one of the women on stage was wearing a rather large silver cross on a chain about her neck.  That silver cross could possibly offend a few people.  Perhaps there should be a ban on wearing any religious jewelry in public.  After all, someone, somewhere might be offended by it and we all know that religion has often started wars.  See how ridiculous things can get?  If one kind of attire is deemed offensive and is banned, then any attire which offends anyone can be banned.

 The problem is not with the baggy pants.  The problem is with those who have nothing better to do than attempt to dictate to others how they should dress.  There are so many other more important issues with which people might concern themselves.

I THINK THAT THE BAGGY PANTS IS NASTY. THEY SHOULD PUT THEM IN JAIL OR SOME TYPE OF FINE. THEY COULD HAVE GUNS OR OTHER WEAPONS  ON THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE PARENTS NEED TO PUT A STOP TO. IF THE KI9D IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 THEN THE PARENT SHOULD GET THE FINE AND THE KID PUT IN JAIL. THE COMPANY'S THAT ARE MAKING THE CLOTHS SHOULD ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR.

ALSO WHY ARE WE THE PEOPLE OF THE U.S ALLOWING THE FOREIGNERS-NOT TO PAY FED. TAX'S. THEY SHOULD BE PAYING MORE THEN WE DO. THEY COME HERE AND TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM US. THEN WE ALLOW THEM TO NOT PAY TAXES. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG . THE CREATE CRIMES AND IN MOST CASES LIVE LIKE NASTY PEOPLE. WHATS UP WITH THIS.

I agree that sometimes these boys can be intimidating the way they dress combined with the often times multiple peirceings and the tatoos covering much of their bodies. However, even if their boxers are showing, at least their butt is covered.  I think in later yeras they will laugh at themselves especially when they remember how "cool" they though they looked.(remember leg warmers?)                                         

 What really offends me and makes me worry is the young girls wearing pants so low, when they sit down the crack of their butt is there for all to see. Also, alot of times this is combined with the shirts that show their bellies and because the pant are so tight,  no matter how thin they are, there is fat hanging over. I am concerned with the message this sends to others about them. I interpret the message they are  send as ; you don't need to respect me, I don't even respect myself.
